It’s the final day of @americans4arts #showyourart2019 >>> Art That Changed Me >>> and I’m posting this photo of me and my band “High Anxiety” as part of @rocknrollcampforgirls Ladies Rock Camp! 🤟🎤🎼🎸 It was a super fun program I treated myself to back in 2017. One person learned the bass, another the drums and I took vocals. We wrote the song in less than 48 hours and performed it live at @kellysolympian downtown. The weekend truly inspired me to face my fear of public speaking - I was singing! - and claim space on a stage. Unforgettable!!

Today’s theme for Day 30 of @americans4arts #ShowYourArt2019 is >>>theater >>> which reminds me of Broadway in #NYC, bringing me back to my outfit last weekend for a Broadway themed Halloween 🎃 party. I went as a Hell’s Kitchen eccentric. You know, the type that goes to as many shows as possible, has afterparties w the cast and crew and has their regular restaurant where they sit at the bar and drink the house red.

I picked this up at a #cannabis event here in #PDX a while ago and it’s been on my desk ever since. I remember @coregardens having a super cool pre-roll offering on their table, as well as this postcard that explains why #terpenes are important! It has a list of conditions of what each terpene can be used for (pain relief, sedation, inflammation, etc.) color coded and then mapped out with their various aromas. They also give a definition of terpenes: “Fragrant oils that give cannabis and other plants aromatic diversity...terpenes work with #cannabinoids to produce known therapeutic benefits.” So there you go! And in honor of Day 29 of @americans4arts #showyourart2019 >>> education >>>

On Day 26 of @americans4arts #showyourart2019 >>> monuments>>> I’m posting a photo I took while visiting @kara_walker_official’s exhibit, “A Subtlety, or the Marvelous Sugar Baby” at the former Domino Sugar factory in Brooklyn in 2014. The structure was 75 feet tall and shaped like a sphinx.

True story: I was at paddling practice here in Portland, Oregon and one of my teammates saw me wearing this shirt from the Center for Anti-Violence in Brooklyn and asked me “How’d you get that t-shirt?” I told her I trained in karate there for six years. Apparently, she volunteered there and told me that yet another teammate also volunteered there. I had no idea! Small world 🌎 so, in honor of Day 25 of @americans4arts #showyourart2019 >>> advocacy >>> I share the love for CAE ❤️ read more about their mission in the comments! (Also, apologies for the wrinkles! 😆)

It’s a five borough street map of New York City, brought to you in honor of Day 24 @americans4arts #showyourart2019 >>> on my wall >>> I remember I bought this from my neighbor in Sunset Park, Brooklyn for $5. We used to have stoop sales together and she let me have it for a bargain! This is only one piece of it; it’s huge and delicate and desperately needs to be framed. But! It’s on my wall and has been for years.... —————————

Today’s post is for Day 23 of @americans4arts #showyourart2019 with the theme of >>> purple >>> Admittedly it’s not a color I am drawn to a lot, but I’ve been burning this “Spirit” @magichourastrology candle 🕯 that I got at @seagrapesoap shop a while back. This candle (which is a royal/deep purple) has definitely evoked divine inspiration in me, which is what I’ve been asking for.... 🙏 🌸

This really has slightly next to nothing to do with >> dance >> which is Day 22 of @americans4arts #showyourart2019 but I had to post something. I am doing a little movement here in this photo from Halloween 🎃 2013 when I was Gilda Radner #SNL character Roseanne Roseannadanna ....just ya know, dancing in the bathroom.

I’d consider this sustainable art, which is the topic of Day 21 @americans4arts #showyourart2019 ... the illustration shows the moon phases over the 12 months of 2019. As this year comes to a close, how will it be used next?

I’m late today! But here’s my post for Day 20 of @americans4arts #showyourart2019 >>> festivals>>> psyched to have raced in Portland’s Rose 🌹 Festival Dragon Boat 🚣 competition in June. We even brought home some hardware. @pdxrosefestival #paddlesup #amazondragonspaddlingclub

I’m not sure what we’re talking about here but this is way back when I lived in Crown Heights. This post is a double whammy - 1/ for #FBF and 2/ for Day 18 of @americans4arts #showyourart2019 >>> cultural heritage. My mom. Brooklyn (where she was born). A menorah. And a gesture for emphasis.
